Pen a narrative that subtly expresses a strong emotional journey without ever naming the emotion in question.

In flash fiction, brevity is key and sometimes, you don’t have the luxury to delve into explicit emotional descriptions. Challenge yourself to write a story where readers can strongly sense a particular emotional journey even when you never directly identify the emotion itself. This encourages authors to master the art of “showing, not telling,” a fundamental aspect of engaging writing.
